Here is what lies ahead for Britain and Brussels, now the divorce deal is done

Brexit trade negotiations present both opportunities and obstacles for the EU and the UK.

Seen some confusion this morning about what happens to free mobile roaming after Brexit- specifically the idea that roaming charges will come back after the transition period, either automatically or in the absence of an agreement with the EU. This isn't quite right. Quick thread

Important piece from @OpenEurope Acting Director Stephen Booth - the Government needs to start giving meaning to what "taking back control" after Brexit will mean conservativehome.com/thecolu…

Stephen Booth: We're about to take back control - but what do we want to do with it? | Conservative...

Withdrawal from the EU provides a necessity and an opportunity to illustrate that the UK is “open for business”.

"The EU's inflexibility will continue to hamper Britain in 2020," argues Open Europe's @pietercleppe in an article for the @Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

The EU's inflexibility will continue to hamper Britain in 2020 

As Britain gears up to the next stage of Brexit talks, the most pressing question of 2020 will not be “to diverge or not to diverge” from European Union regulations.

With recent geopolitical events and #Brexit talks resuming, time to flag this previous @OpenEurope report about future UK-EU security relations👇 openeurope.org.uk/intelligen…
Nick Gutteridge@nickgutteridge8 Jan 2020
Replying to @nickgutteridge
Von der Leyen said that on security/foreign policy/defence 'the truth is that Brexit will not resolve any of the existing challenges for the EU nor for the UK.' She says: 'It will require intensive cooperation on our foreign and security policies. That’s essential.'
